These people genuinely believe that superintelligent AI will solve all the problems and all this climate noise is impeding progress.

Distraction from what?

Trump's tariffs forced a historic trade deal between Japan, China, and Korea, three countries that historically hate each other. If Trump managed to accidentally force Taiwan and China to settle their differences, it might be a sign of the rapture.

How else is Trump going to pay for those tax cuts for his billionaire buddies?

Most companies aren't Apple.

You don't need to deliberately create silos in order to secure a project. We've had people working on top secret projects and while people may not have known the specifics the company was kept up to date on the progress and outcomes of the project. We brought people in from other teams after an extra vetting process and additional NDA specific to that project.

This is such a bad idea.

I want a tiny car. The problem is that road design is unsafe so people buy bigger cars so they are safer when they get into an accident. I've seen the aftermath of a Chrysler Fiat getting into a collision with an SUV and lets just say the Fiat driver had much worse day than the SUV driver.

One thing I've learned is that people have no idea what an endowment is and how it works because it isn't a piggy bank you dip into. UCLA is also a public university that should get public money.

Get involved in sports and you'll learn you can find a crooked doctor to prescribe anything and I mean ANYTHING.

Trump believes there is a winner and loser in everything. So you stiff the contractor, he gets upset and might not work with you again, you just get another contractor. Trump was a big enough name and has enough money that even if his reputation is horrible, people aren't just going to not work with him. You can imagine that how works on a global scale as president.

I think research and the ability to summarize are important skills and automating these skills away will have bad downstream effects. I see people on Twitter asking grok to summarize a paragraph so I don't think further cementing this idea that a tool will summarize for you is a good idea.

The motivation is the same, power and control, but you need to run a slightly different playbook in different countries. In US, Republicans have been having Christianity as a front for decades.

Observable's pricing is bit out of bounds for what they offer. It feels like a lot of these data startups are just looking for large companies that will unsuspectingly spend a ton of money on something they don't need.

I use Uber often. My ratio to male to female drivers is about 70:30

Me neither. I hear about assaults against female passengers but I don't believe I've read or heard about one against female drivers. I've asked a few women I've gotten in Ubers with and they say they've had some dicey situations but no out right assaults.

But I don't think you were asking genuinely and just wanted to be snarky without contributing to the conversation :)

This feels like an indirect response to Waymo. I've heard from women in the Bay Area that they just feel safer taking Waymos.

How many frivilous assault allegations against male drivers are there? I've never heard of this happening personally.

> Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed

Who am I to doubt the Church's interpretation but this seems like it literally reads as if the scripture is saying that the sun stood still and the Earth revolves around it?

This how good lies work. You take an element of the truth and wrap it around the lie. Japan might very well be frustrated about immigrants but that doesn't make every complaint about immigrants true.

For the record I didn't downvote you. As for your question, I get what you are getting at but I don't get to pick and choose where my taxes go and you will never 100% agree with everything being spent on a government level.

If it got to a situation where libraries aren't being funded and water isn't clean, which isn't out of the realm of possibility with this administration, then I may need to reevaluate my stance but right now I'm fine paying what I owe.

So? Quality of life has improved and they have virtually eliminated extreme poverty by focusing on this redistribution[0]. Ask those people how they feel about GDP growth slowing down. They don't care.

Yes, I took from my community to get to where I am. I used libraries, roads, and social services. Ethically, it's only fair that you pay it back and give other people the same chance I had. If you have clean water coming out the tap then you benefit from people paying taxes.

I have no idea what you are talking about but you are combative for no reason.

> Aside from some lip service paid about "common prosperity", China definitely does not have a strong wealth redistribution system

I don't think this does your argument any favors because by your words, it didn't work. Because you're right, China's "let a few people get rich" idea led to massive wealth inequality but redistribution was always at the center of the idea and what I'm talking about are recent reforms that Xi is taking to accelerate that redistribution such as and introducing salary caps, increasing taxes, and creating more social security programs the rich have to pay into. So China is right now building their strong wealth redistribution network.

I employ people and I am not a billionaire. I also pay my taxes. Crazy I know.

Both of these things are true. London doesn't build enough but rich people are sitting on supply and raising prices. London needs to build more houses as well as prevent people from turning them into Airbnbs or investment properties.

This worked because China had very strong regulatory frameworks and redistribution was at center of that philosophy. The entire point of letting a few people get rich was that those people who get rich will need to pay taxes to redistribute that wealth around the country.

The people who hoard the wealth in the US actively attack regulation and avoid taxes so that they don't have to redistribute the wealth. At that point, you're a drain on the system.
